What does this mean for sales of the 370Z in the current world of rising oil prices, and the clambering for Hybrid technology?
If gas hits $5.00/gal will this change your outlook on purchasing a new Z?
OR
Will Nissan join the rest of the pack and, will we see a 25K base 370Z?
They are saying gas prices are likely to be $3.50/gal again by January, and could hit $4.75 by July 2009.

Gas prices are all time low now. I think I just saw $1.82 for 87 and $2.31 for premium. All the car sales are low right now due to economic imbalance. People are nervous to buy new cars. That could be a reason to get really good deals on the Z.
I also agree with "o0javi0o" that, those people who will buy a 370Z, do not care about gas prices. I have never said a single word about gas prices. That's the last thing on my mind. It's like asking a GTR owner if he is worried about 3000 dollar brake job.
I highly doubt gas prices will hit $3.50 by January but I can see it rising may be starting from April-May (or whenever we get those hurricanes
)
I should also mention that, I WILL NEVER drive a hybrid. I hate hybrids with a passion.
